Student finds 'Wrinkled Brain' Kidney in KFC Meal

A student received a nasty shock as he found what he thought was a "wrinkled brain" inside a piece of fried chicken.

Ibrahim Langoo discovered the three inch organ as he was chowing down on a Gladiator meal box at a restaurant in Colchester, Essex. The horrified 19-year-old was picking the chicken off the bone when he saw the "horrible wrinkled foreign body".

The "brain" Langoo found in his KFC

"I threw it down onto my tray immediately. It looked like a brain. I suddenly felt grim and really sick."

The Colchester Institute student alerted staff immediately but said he received no help. After complaining online and sending in a picture of the offending organ, KFC said it believes the "brain" is in fact, a kidney.

"I never want to eat KFC again - in Colchester or anywhere else," the traumatised Langoo added. "I’ll eat chicken at home, where I can see how it’s been prepared.”

It's not the first time a brain-like tidbit has been found lurking beneath KFC's breadcrumbs and batter. In March last year, a third year Southampton student had the same experience as Langoo when she found a mysterious foreign body among her chicken delectables.

A KFC spokesman said the company always tried to ensure the highest standards in its restaurants.
